TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATIONS

If you're flying in, there are three major airports:
 

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)

• Recommended: This is the closest airport —  about 20–25 minutes from The Albion Summit Hotel by car.

• Transportation Options:

  • Taxi / Uber / Lyft

  • NJ Transit Train: Take the AirTrain to Newark Airport Station, then a NJ Transit train to Summit Station (see more details in the train section).

  • Rental Cars are also available onsite.
     

LaGuardia Airport (LGA)

• Located in Queens, ~1 hour from the hotel (more during peak times).

• Best option: Taxi, rideshare, or rental car. Public transit is possible but requires multiple transfers.

John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK)

• Located in Brooklyn, ~1.5 hours from Morristown.

• Best option: Taxi, rideshare, or private car service. You can also take the AirTrain + subway + NJ Transit combo, but it’s a bit of a journey (~2 hours).
   

Pro Tip: If you're deciding between airports, we recommend EWR (Newark) for the shortest, and simplest trip.

Driving to The Albion Summit Hotel, St. Rose of Lima Church and/or the Reception at The Beacon Hill Club is a great option, especially for guests coming from nearby cities. All are within ~10 minutes of each other.
